📊 #CryptoUpdate | Powell’s Pause: What It Means for Bitcoin & Beyond đŸ›ïžđŸ’„

🚹 Fed Chair Jerome Powell held rates steady again — but the real message?

⚠ Uncertainty is the new certainty.

Here’s what crypto investors need to know from Powell’s latest remarks:

đŸ”č Rate Cuts Delayed

Despite early hopes for a 2024 cut, Powell signaled the Fed’s not in a hurry. Inflation is cooling slower than expected, and "modestly restrictive" policy will stay until there's clear evidence it's beaten.

đŸ”č Tariff Trouble Ahead

New tariffs (especially from political plans like Trump’s proposals) could push prices up again. Powell made it clear: Consumers will pay, and inflation may spike — not great for fiat, but a bullish signal for Bitcoin as a hedge against currency debasement.

đŸ”č Flying Blind with Bad Data?

Powell raised the alarm that cutting federal budgets might damage the reliability of key data like CPI and job numbers — the Fed's compass. With weaker visibility, the Fed turns more cautious and less predictable
 and markets hate that.

đŸ”č No Political Games

Amid pressure, Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s independence — hinting the central bank won’t bow to election-year politics or push for short-term sugar highs.
